This might be a completely vain and superficial question, but I wonder...
Both of the stories I've written so far have over 1,000 views apiece, yet there are hardly any votes and no comments. Is there a way to increase those numbers?
Like I said, really vain and ultimately meaningless, but I'm curious. Thanks in advance!
A lot of those views might be search engine bots, I don't think the software differentiates.
Unless you can change human nature, there's not that much you can do. It is hard to get people to vote, let alone leave a comment.
You could befriend lots of members and ask them what they think of your story, that's one trick a few people here use to good effect.
I haven't read your story but writing something really badass helps.

Sometimes it takes a little time to develop any sort of following around here...so keep writing...
By the 70th story or so people should start leaving comments...
Bribary also works well, btw...
Definitely not above bribing! :-P
